2020-21 EPL Live Stream, Odds, and Predictions
Despite the threats of COVID- 19 still haunting the world, the Premier League has successfully stepped into its 29th season. The 2020-21 English Premier League will feature a total of 20 teams as usual and the newly promoted Fulham, Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion will have their fair share of the top flight campaign.
Due to pandemic situation, the extended 2019-20 season winded up last month with Liverpool winning their first league title since 1990. The Reds grabbed their first trophy of the Premier League era and it was their 19th overall Cup in history as the reigning Champions make a solid start in a fresh season.
According to UEFA regulations, from this Premier League season the teams to finish in the top 4 teams of the EPL table will qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Whilst the team finishing at the 5th spot will qualify for the upcoming UEFA Europa League 2020-21 and it will be a hard hustle for the teams to make it up there.

After an incredible start to the new season, the teams are now looking forward to the weekend games of Matchday 2. Powered with many new signings, the EPL has gotten a bit of seasoning to its already perfect teams and their lineups. Newly promoted clubs like Leeds United, West Brom and Fulham have started making their move and they will be delighted with this fine opportunity. With more action and excitement in place to set the course of action for this 2020 season, the Premier League is officially back.
Everton VS West Brom
The Goodison Park will host the Matchday 2 game between Everton and West Bromwich Albion. The Toffees kicked off the season with a win 1-0 against Spurs and they are high on confidence. Everton aim to keep on winning and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach with James Rodriguez likely to keep up. As the promoted newcomers failed to impress against Leicester City, they face yet another difficult task and home win should be considered as Everton proved their worth over Jose Mourinho’s troops.
Leeds United VS Fulham
Leeds United and Fulham are fresh teams that returned to the Premier League, who face each other at Elland Road in a very exciting game of Matchday 2. The Whites produced a thrilling display in the opener, but eventually failed to win against Liverpool at Anfield. As they aim to make amends for their 4-3 loss, they are likely to go all guns blazing at the capital club. The Cottagers experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Arsenal. The hosts are more of a team than Fulham and the hosts will prove their worth on the field.
Manchester United VS Crystal Palace
The Red Devils will look to kick off their new campaign in style as they host Crystal Palace on Saturday at the Old Trafford. United are on a quest to close the gap between Liverpool and City, and they really want to a flying start to the season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a full squad to choose from and his men are seen as hot favourites to win this fixture. The Eagles aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Southampton, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the Old Trafford showdown.
Arsenal VS West Ham
The Gunners will be looking to build on a 3-0 win over Fulham when they take on West Ham United on Matchday 2 in yet another London derby. Arsenal kicked off the new season in style, with summer signing Willian providing two assists for his teammates on his Arsenal debut. Mikel Arteta is on a quest to help the Gunners bring glory days back to Emirates Stadium. But, West Ham United face an uphill task in the local derby and Mikel Arteta’s men are going to pick up all three points from the match.
Southampton VS Tottenham
St. Mary’s Stadium pits together Southampton and Tottenham, coincidentally the two teams have failed to impress in their season openers. Southampton were beaten by Crystal Palace in London at the weekend and the Saints are eager to give fans some cheer on Matchday 2. The Spurs aim to bounce back from a loss 1-0 to Everton, but beating Southampton on the road is not easy. Although Jose Mourinho can count on his key players for the St. Mary’s Stadium clash, it could still be tight.
Newcastle VS Brighton
Newcastle United and Brighton face off at St. James Park on Matchday 2 after the Magpies did well to beat West Ham in London in their opener. They are high on spirits ahead of their visit to Brighton and the Seagulls have established themselves as a mid-table side in the Premier League, but they produce much better at home than on travels. Since Newcastle impressed in the opening match of the season, the visitors are going to return home empty-handed.
Chelsea VS Liverpool
All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge when Chelsea and Liverpool face each other at Stamford Bridge on Matchday 2. The Blues have big ambitions for this season, after reinforcing their squad in the summer transfer window. Eager to put an end to Liverpool’s dominance in EPL, they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in Sunday’s showdown. The Reds recorded a hard-fought 4-3 win over Leeds United in their opener and they looked sharp in front of goal in the triumph over Marcelo Bielsa’s troops. But given Chelsea’s new attacking potential, this is a big game in which probably both teams will score.
Leicester City VS Burnley
On Matchday 2, Leicester City will be looking to build on a 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion when they take on Burnley at King Power Stadium. The Foxes kicked off the new Premier League season in great manner, with Jamie Vardy continuing where he left last term. The Clarets were not in action at the weekend and Burnley are eager to impress in the opening match of the season. In their last meeting at King Power Stadium the Foxes defeated the Clarets 2-1 and a similar result is likely to follow.
Aston Villa VS Sheffield United
Aston Villa host Sheffield United on Matchday 2 at the Villa Park in their opening match of the season. The Villans did well to secure Premier League survival and they will be on the same quest in the 2020-21 campaign. Sheffield United aim to continue where they left last season and the visitors are going to grab something from the match. In their last meeting, the two teams played out a goalless draw, which is yet another reason that the Blades will take home a point from this game.
Wolves VS Manchester City
On Matchday 2, Manchester City will be looking for revenge as they take on Wolves for last season’s back to back defeats when they face each other at Molineux Stadium. The Citizens are on a quest to regain their Premier League trophy and they are likely to fight hard in the season opener. Over the years, the Wolves have turned their Molineux Stadium into a real fortress, but seeing that Pep Guardiola’s men are hungry for revenge, away win should be considered.
